Links and Stuff
Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists, for the “buh Zeleski is a jew?!?!” people.
Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict
Add to the above list if you can, thank you.
Resources For Understanding The War Beyond The Bulletins
Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map, who is an independent youtuber with a mostly neutral viewpoint.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have good analysis (though also a couple bad takes here and there)
Understanding War and the Saker: neo-conservative sources but their reporting of the war (so far) seems to line up with reality better than most liberal sources.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict and, unlike most western analysts, has some degree of understanding on how war works. He is a reactionary, however.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent journalist reporting in the Ukrainian warzones.
Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.
Telegram Channels
Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.

A BBC journalist in Ukraine pretending to be on the front lines while a local lady walks around like normal in the background
deleted by creator
reporters just can't stop themselves from trying to be e🅱️ic
Meanwhile Patrick Lancaster is casually lounging right outside of an active tank battle while finding out he almost stepped on a bunch of petal mines.
literally fake news
hilarious.
but, tbf, I also wouldn't wanna be close to the front lines even if I had the protection of being a journalist
Oh no doubt, I just think it's funny and probably speaks to the actual situation for western journalists in UKR - since they're not allowed near the front lines and only provided curated information, scrappy BBC reporters are forced to play make-em-up war journalist
Patrick Lancaster :gigachad:
His most recent video literally ended with him and a Russian volunteer navigating a clusterbomb minefield on the front
Where's the original video?
Finally found it - the picture seems to have come from an article the knob wrote himself: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/in-my-38-years-at-the-bbc-its-been-rare-to-witness-events-that-can-change-history-this-is-one-5ldtbjw3c
I'm looking around on reddit where I found the picture originally and I can't find the thread, I'll reply again if I come across it
